Primroses Primula vulgaris growing in Norfolk lane
The name primrose actually derives from the Latin prima rosa meaning 'first rose' of the year (although it is not actually a member of the rose family). It was chosen as the County flower of Devon .Its pale yellow flowers with orange centers can be a common sight across the UK. Wrinkled, spoon-shaped leaves form a rosette at the plant's base, from which these grow. It is a plant of woodland clearings, hedgebanks, waysides and open grassland preferring clay soils. It flowers from March to May Primrose is a native plant in Britain, and its distribution remains stable. Its decline in areas of East Anglia - following a series of hot, dry summers from 1970 onwards - hints at a possible threat posed by climate change
